This painting is inspired by Goldie Estate, set on the slopes above Putiki Bay on Waiheke Island. Surrounded by native bush and sweeping rows of vines, the vineyard carries a quiet sense of history rooted in the legacy of Kim and Jeanette Goldwater, who helped establish Waiheke as one of New Zealand’s celebrated wine regions. The landscape feels both expansive and intimate, where vineyard hills roll gently toward the bay and warm air carries the scent of fruit and sea.
The palette and movement of the painting draw from a glass of Goldie Estate Pinot Gris. Soft yellows and pale blush tones reflect the wine’s delicate notes of pear, quince, and white blossom, while flowing lines echo the curves of the vineyard and the calm rhythm of the island. Small blocks of color suggest the rows of vines and scattered structures across the estate, bringing together the warmth of the afternoon light, the stillness of Putiki Bay, and the quiet elegance of the wine itself.
Original paintings are created with archival materials and are available for private collection, with larger commissioned interpretations available upon request.
